On October 3, 1993, the streets of Mogadishu plunged into chaos as U.S. forces clashed in a deadly battle that would be remembered as the battle of mogadishu/ Black Hawk Down. The roots of the battle can be traced to Somalia's civil war, the fall of a dictatorship, and a humanitarian crisis that prompted international intervention.
The U.N. launched Operation Restore Hope to provide relief, but the U.S. attempt to capture warlord Mohamed Farah Aidid escalated into a deadly battle.
